Another (broad) analogy:

John Gotti ordered the murder of John Favara, his neighbor who accidentally ran over and killed Gotti's son. Gotti made sure he was in Florida when the murder went down. Everyone on the planet know he'd ordered the hit, but Gotti didn't care. He made no pretensions to "legitimacy." Michael did.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
